FastPass+ Basic Info, Suggested Priorities, And Strategies--Part II

[got2sammies]

If I have 3 fast passes booked and I just want to change ONE at a different time.. How can I look to see what is available then change it to the new experience and new time without effecting the other two?

You can start the process of changing the time on just one attraction. You will be able to see what other times are available before making the change.

Any thoughts on when the FP+ will be available for A&E SAL at HS? Going for Halloween and this just became a must see/do!!

When I know it's been extended (I assume it will be), I'll update the OP there too.

We are 19 days out - so it's time for me to tweak my FP+ reservations!

I'm in MDE and I cannot figure out how to take 2 people off an existing reservation without messing up their whole day. Example: I originally scheduled all 4 of us for Soarin'. DD2 is too short to ride it so DH and her will go do something us while DD1 and I go ride. The first thing I did was cancel them off the FP and then tried to go back and schedule them under the selection "New FastPass". Except it made me cancel the other two FP for the day and start over again. There has to be an easier way to do this right?

Epcot wasn't so bad because I was able to get their FP's back but now we are under different reservations and our windows are close give or take 5 minutes. But things will start to get messy with MK because I don't want to screw up 7DMT or A&E.

HEEEEELP!

DON'T CANCEL! Just select the modify FP option. If you are only modifying for part of your party, you need to do this on the app. Once you select the attraction to modify, the next page will give you the option to select individual members of your party (in the app. Online will make you modify for everyone that shares that FP). Then simply select a new attraction for that part of your party, and viola! The original FP remains in tact for everyone else.

Thank you! I knew there had to be an easier way.

I have removed the September qualifier for Frozen SAL FPs, there is no apparent end to this offering at the moment.

You are welcome, I enjoy hearing success stories!

This may have been answered, I am new to this thread and my 60 day window to select fast passes for the first time is coming up. I have read that to get Anna and Elsa you may have to use cell phone app to split the party, is it hard to do on a laptop? Should I just try to make original fast passes on my cell phone app or the laptop to try to get Anna and Elsa? Thanks in advance!

I believe I read here that if you are making FP+ for a child, the child must be "attached" to an adult. Any time you make FP+ for one, you are making FP+ for both, and they cannot be separated.

At what age is a child old enough so that he does not need to be "attached" to an adult, and FP+ can be made for him individually?

The minimum age to ride any alone is 7yo, assuming they also meet the height requirement.

Thanks for the info. I'll pass it on. She does plan to go at RD, but trying to push a wheelchair through the masses will take time. While the 9 year old has mobility limits and visual limits, there are a couple more kids with mental limitations she has to manage to keep hold of too.. The adults are my step son and his wife. Her mom use to go and help out but lost her fight to cancer last month, so it's just the 2 adults. There are actually only 10 kids going, which includes 2 grand kids. My stepson and his wife adopted all of their children via foster care, so they are very young grand parents (late 30s).


Just saw the update....back to the drawing board.

Have you talked to a CM at WDW information to find out if there are any arrangements for special needs guests ? Hopefully they can work with you to make this a positive experience ! And what wonderful people your stepson and his wife are for providing a loving home for these beautiful kids !

Its easiest to make your initial selections from the website, in my opinion, while the app is best used to modify. Depending on the size of your group and length of stay, you may not need to separate your party at all. Try scheduling A&E as late in your trip as possible, for everyone, first. If that does not work, then try looking for singles and doubles. Good luck!

If I purchase tix mvmcp and all ready plan to be at MK that day, do I still have to use all 3 FP before I could make any for during the party?

Right now I have a 6-year-old who is scheduled to ride 7DMT at a time which does not overlap with the other 3 of us, and I have a 4-year-old who is scheduled to ride 7DMT at a time which doesn't overlap with the other 3 of us.

Obviously, I'm not going to keep it that way. I'll switch the FP+ to something else if I can't get 7DMT with overlapping times for all 4 of us.

But....what this shows is that My Disney Experience allows kids under to 7 to ride "alone" -- certainly a glitch that needs to be fixed.

There are no FPs during parties, as mentioned in the OP.
